View Lyrics
Oh, Gods. Oh, Gods Are you there? What can I do to get you to look down And give in? Oh, Gods. Oh, Gods Hear my prayer I’m here in the field With my feet on the ground And my fate in the air Waiting for life to begin
PEASANTS Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la
TI MOUNE Mama’s contented and Tonton Accepts what he gets
PEASANTS Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la
TI MOUNE Happy for tea in their cups And no holes in their nets
PEASANTS Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la
TIMOUNE Happy to have what they have And to stay where they are
PEASANTS Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la
TI MOUNE They never even look up At the sound of a car!
A stranger! Racing down the beach Racing to places I was meant to reach My stranger One day you’ll arrive The car will stop And in I’ll hop And off we’ll drive…We’ll drive!
Oh, gods Oh, gods Please, be there Don’t you remember Your little Ti Moune from the tree Wake up! Look down! Hear my prayer Don’t single me out And then forget me…
Oh gods, oh gods Let me fly
PEASANTS Oh oh oh
TIMOUNE Send me to places No one before me has been
PEASANTS Ooh la ooh la ooh la
TI MOUNE You spared my life Show me why
PEASANTS Oh oh oh
TI MOUNE You get me to rise Like a fish to the bait And tell me to wait Well, I’m waiting…
PEASANTS Waiting
TI MOUNE Waiting for Life to Begin!
